Main Theme from Californication - Tree Adams

Californication Main Theme by Tree Adams  
(download)

Man, I love this show. This season is really good, so far. Someone emailed me this MP3 when I mentioned on the plex.app forums that I really liked hearing the theme songs on each page of TV shows in the scraped listings. At slightly over 30 secs, I might be running afoul of Fair Use, so get it before the takedown notice. (Please don't sue me!)
